How to Apply This License to Your Programs

If you develop a new program and wish to grant the public the
freedoms to use, study, modify, and convey it under the terms of
this License, you may apply this License to the program by
attaching the notices described below.

It is recommended to place these notices at the beginning of
each source file, in order to clearly indicate the applicable
license terms and the exclusion of warranty. Each file should
include at least a copyright notice and a reference to where the
full text of this License can be found.

License, Version 1.

You are granted the rights to use, operate, modify, and convey
this Work, subject to the terms and conditions of that License.
Any conveyance of this Work, in original or modified form,
must preserve those same rights and obligations.

This Work is provided in the expectation that it may be useful,

If the program provides an interactive user interface, whether
through a terminal, graphical interface, or network-based system,
it should display Appropriate Legal Notices in a reasonable and
prominent manner. Such notices should include a copyright notice,
a statement that the program is provided without warranty, and
information on how to view a copy of this License.

If you develop the program as part of your employment, education,
or under contract, you should ensure that no conflicting claims
exist with respect to the copyright of the program, or that any
required permissions or disclaimers have been obtained.
